To share different methods of thinking to help those with and without mental illness live more fulfilling lives.
Mental Agility is my answer to “Mental Toughness”. A cliched bit of advice that, in my opinion, has been overused to the point of meaninglessness.
Mental toughness boils down to:
Just do it
Put your head down
Find a helmet
Grind it out
Grit, and perseverance are valuable virtues for any human to develop; I am not arguing against these virtues. I attack the lack of strategy.
“Tough it out,” is fantastic advice to someone who already knows what to do and has the ability to do it. Otherwise, it is impractical and dangerous advice to those with no idea what they are doing.
I collected various tools in the pursuit of permanent recovery from depression and anxiety. I write about philosophy, and different modes of thought that I experiment with to refine my perspective on life. I speak to the unique human ability to change our minds, and I show how to use tools to accomplish that change.
Since these tools have been tested on someone, like myself, with a severe mental illness; they can help improve the lives of those with AND without mental illness.
